Write a formula for the general term of the geometric sequence. Then use the formula for to find , the seventh term of the sequence. 0.0017,-0.017
Added by Jamie F.
Step 1
The general term of a geometric sequence is given by the formula: \[a_n = a_1 \cdot r^{(n-1)}\] where: \(a_n\) = the nth term of the sequence \(a_1\) = the first term of the sequence \(r\) = the common ratio \(n\) = the term number Show more…
